hey, I actually registered on this site to give you this answer:I did this for my 93 se
shaved at the OEM brackets
and painted to resist rust
shaved the grille some
and installed
I do recommend however, that you get Glass ones from a bimmer site or off Ebay. I put in plastic ones I bought from a junkyard, because I really wanted then and had to get which ever was cheaper
You can also retro-fit in some TSX Projectors. If you do get the plastic ones, you can order Wade covers for a maxima and cut away the lens from the E36 plastic lens and seal on the Wade cover, looks really nice and professionally made.
I will now go and introduce myself to the NICOclub forum
EDIT***Instead of using the OEM brackets.... usually everyone makes there own custom brackets
